Talking about Azumino

"Snowy Mt.Renge and flowers of the spring" for The Father's Day

Through the golden week holidays, rice-transplanting was completed by almost all farmers here in Azumino. It’s so beautiful that the imagery of the North Alps reflect on the surface of the water in the paddy fields. Thin rice sprouts are looking somewhat un-sturdy now, however, they will grow up soon. Then, their beautiful color of green, like green carpets, will change the scenery of Azumino completely.

                                                                                                                                                                   Following The Mother’s Day, Mr. Mitsutaka Kawasaki, a painter who is living in Ikeda Machi, painted a picture entitled “Snowy Mt.Renge and flowers of the spring” for The Father’s Day.

Mt.Renge is one of the mountains which are familiar for us who live in the northern Azumino. Mt.Renge, having heavy and well balanced setting, looks like a reliable father, doesn’t it ?

Mr.Kawasaki's painting and a message of thanks for The Mother's Day

In February, it was abnormally warm in Azumino. In March and April, however, we were surprised by a very unseasonal cold spell in early spring. Then, all of a sudden the cherry blossoms at ground level bloomed and real spring arrived.

I want to introduce you to a splendid picture which so vividly depicts the spring in Azumino. It is "the Alps and the tulip" which was drawn by Mr. Mitsutaka Kawasaki, a painter who is resident here in Ikeda Machi.

Mr.Kawasaki is from Saitama Pref. He continued to draw pictures while he traveled around many places in Japan,.And he further improved his original style of painting by his experiences in Europe and India. We are irresistibly attracted by the delicate colors and unique composition of his paintings. He currently resides in Hirotsu Ikeda Machi Kitazumi-gun, Nagano Pref.

(At Shinya Shoten shop(http://www.shinya.biz), we made a card of this "Alps and tulip" with Mr. Kawasaki's consent. And we arranged it such that there was an attached message which was served as a "Mother's Day" card. We are waiting for your order of the Japanese Sake which will include a  free complementary "Mother's Day" card. )
